c0bcd817ba removed some key bindings, including the bindings of
ESC ESC [ C for Alt-Right. the commit claimed that
"Sequences like \e\eOC are Escape followed by an SS3 arrow key which we
can already decode separately." but for whatever reason this doesn't work:
Alt-Right is broken in iTerm2 by default.
Restore the default ESC ESC [ X bindings for iTerm2 compatibility.
Given "abbr foo something", the input sequence
foo<space><ctrl-z><space>
would re-expand the abbreviation on the second space which is surprising
because the cursor is not at or inside the command token. This looks to be
a regression from 00432df42 (Trigger abbreviations after inserting process
separators, 2024-04-13)
Happily, 69583f303 (Allow restricting abbreviations to specific commands
(#10452), 2024-04-24) made some changes that mean the bad commit seems no
longer necessary. Not sure why it works but I'll take it.
iTerm2 supports CSI u so the custom bindings are no longer needed. Sequences
like \e\eOC are Escape followed by an SS3 arrow key which we can already
decode separately.
alt-d used to do that until evil merge[*] 213e90704 (Merge remote-tracking branch
'upstream/master' into bind_mode, 2014-01-15) which changed the order of
the \ed bindings such that the smart dirh version would be shadowed by the
simpler ones.
[*] git blame alone failed to find it because it skips merge commits.
On
a;
we don't expand the abbreviation because the cursor is right of semicolon,
not on the command token. Fix this by making sure that we call expand-abbr
with the cursor on the semicolon which is the end of the command token.
(Now that our bind command execution order is less surprising, this is doable.)
This means that we need to fix the cursor after successfully expanding
an abbreviation. Do this by setting the position explicitly even when no
--set-position is in effect.
An earlier version of this patch used
bind space self-insert backward-char expand-abbr or forward-char
The problem with that (as a failing test shows) was that given "abbr m
myabbr", after typing "m space ctrl-z", the cursor would be after the "m",
not after the space. The second space removes the space, not changing the
cursor position, which is weird. I initially tried to fix this by adding
a hack to the undo group logic, to always restore the cursor position from
when begin-undo-group was used.
bind space self-insert begin-undo-group backward-char expand-abbr end-undo-group or forward-char
However this made test_torn_escapes.py fail for mysterious reasons.
I believe this is because that test registers and triggers a SIGUSR1 handler;
since the signal handler will rearrange char events, that probably messes
with the undo group guards.
I resorted to adding a tailor-made readline cmd. We could probably remove
it and give the new behavior to expand-abbr, not sure.
Fixes#9730
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
We have
bind --preset -M $mode --sets-mode paste \e\[200~ __fish_start_bracketed_paste
Commit c3cd68dda (Process shell commands from bindings like regular char
events, 2024-03-02) made it so __fish_start_bracketed_paste is no longer
executed before the bind mode is updated.
This is a long-awaited fix but it broke __fish_start_bracketed_paste's
assumption that $fish_bind_mode is the mode before we entered paste mode.
This means we never exit paste mode.
Work around that. I forgot about this issue because I already replaced our
bracketed paste handling on my fork.
Today,
bind foo "commandline -f expand-abbr; commandline -i \n"
does not work because this
1. enqueues an expand-abbr readline event
2. "commandline -i" inserts \n
3. processes the expand-abbr readline event
Since there is no abbreviation on the new line, this doesn't do anything.
PR https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/9398 would fix this
particular instance however it does not fix the issue that "commandline -i"
is run before the expand-abbr is processed by the reader. This is harmless
here but there would be a problem if "commandline" tried to read commandline
state that was created by a preceding command.
It's not super clear to me whether the above binding should work as one
would naively expect. That would imply that "commandline" would need to
drain all input events (at least all synthetic ones) from the input queue,
to ensure it sees the current state.
Fortunately the parent commit makes it so if we separate them
bind foo "commandline -f expand-abbr" "commandline -i \n"
both will be separate events and the commandline state will be synced after
each of them. This fixes abbreviation expansion here.
Also, we can now mix readline cmds and shell commands, which makes it shorter.
Most chat programs I found use Shift+Return to insert a newline while plain
Return sends the message. One user reported having only tried Shift+Return
and not knowing about Alt+Return.
No release notes yet because this only works on a very small number of
terminals. Once we enable CSI u, this should work on most modern terminals.
Inserting Tab or Backspace characters causes weird glitches. Sometimes it's
useful to paste tabs as part of a code block.
Render tabs as "␉" and so on for other ASCII control characters, see
https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/control-pictures/. This fixes the
width-related glitches.
You can see it in action by inserting some control characters into the
command line:
set chars
for x in (seq 1 0x1F)
set -a chars (printf "%02x\\\\x%02x" $x $x)
end
eval set chars $chars
commandline -i "echo '" $chars
Fixes#6923Fixes#5274Closes#7295
We could extend this approach to display a fallback symbol for every unknown
nonprintable character, not just ASCII control characters.
In future we might want to support tab properly.
This can be bound like `bind \cl clear-screen`, and is, by default
In contrast to the current way it doesn't need the external `clear`
command that was always awkward.
Also it will clear the screen and first draw the old prompt to remove
flicker.
Then it will immediately trigger a repaint, so the prompt will be overwritten.
After accidentally running a command that includes a pasted password, I want
to delete command from history. Today we need to recall or type (part of)
that command and type "history delete". Let's maybe add a shortcut to do
this from the history pager.
The current shortcut is Shift+Delete. I don't think that's very discoverable,
maybe we should use Delete instead (but only if the cursor is at the end of
the commandline, otherwise delete a char).
Closes#9454
Bracketed paste adds one undo entry unless the pasted text contains a '
or \. This is because the "paste" bind-mode has bindings for those keys,
so they effectively start a new undo entry.
Let's fix this by adding an explicit undo group (our first use of this
feature!).
I often hit Shift-Return accidentally, which makes my terminal echo a
weird escape sequence. Traditionally, terminals interpret Shift-Return
as Return, so let's follow that behavior. Analoguous to commit 1dc526884
(Bind Shift+Space CSI u sequence to Space, 2022-04-24).
Pressing Ctrl-D while a command is running results in a null key code in
our input queue. That key code is bound to insert a space (without expanding
abbreviations). Make it only insert a space if the commandline is non-empty,
to accommodate this use case.
This probably affects other keys as well.
Closes#8871
Some terminals can be configured to send variuos escape sequences for keys
that could historically not be detected. Turns out some usage pattern rely
on those quirks.
Shift+Space is easy to mistype when wanting to insert a space (especially
when typing ALL CAPS). Map it to Space, to match user expectations.
Similarly for Control+Return, for which xterm can be configured to send
something other than \cr:
echo 'XTerm.vt100.modifyOtherKeys: 1' | xrdb && xterm
I'm working on a change to builtin bind that allows to bind CSI sequences via
human-readable key names (#3018) but for now let's just map the raw sequences.
Closes#8874
This introduces two functions to
- toggle a process prefix, used for adding "sudo"
- add a job suffix, used for adding "&| less"
Not sure if they are very useful; we'll see.
Closes#7905
"repaint" here is a bit of a misnomer. It *doesn't* re-highlight, that
just happens on its own.
It re-runs the prompt, which can take quite a while (depending on the
configuration), and which is also useless in this context as this
isn't something the prompt will be reacting to (theoretically it
could, but I doubt the utility of displaying "PASTE" for a few milliseconds).
This was always awkward as fish script, and had problems with
interrupting the autoloading.
Note that we still leave the old function intact to facilitate easier
upgrading for now.
Fixes#7145.
* Fix default Alt+W keybinding
The old keybinding would chop off the last line of the `whatis` output
when using a multi-line prompt. This fix corrects that.
* Make variable local and remove unneeded if statement
* Test that token is non-empty
Similar to the last commit, only for the in-terminal-paste stuff.
Also cleans up the comments on bracketed paste a bit - nobody has
stepped forward to report problems with old emacsen or windows, so
there's no need for a TODO comment.
See #4327.
This allows for marking certain bindings as part of a preset, which allows us to
- only erase those when switching presets
- go back to the preset binding when erasing a user binding
- only show user customization if requested
- make bare bind statements in config.fish work (!!!11elf!!!)
Fixes#5191.
Fixes#3699.
